Color somewhere between Mountain Dew and vegetable broth. Low density head of space-white with a yellow-green tinge. Horned owls and kissing fish lacing die-cuts to crowns bejeweled by bubbles. Tropical pudding of lime and pineapple-tangerine, banana and lemon sugar. Coconut and mango afterthoughts. Power punch palate entry. Eucalyptus wood intimations, toasty sesame with lemon zest, pith and seed. Toasted coconut says ‘hello’, and ‘remember me?’salinity infuses the betel nut, nutmeg and allspice whispers, and the whole is well-integrated as Founder’s is fond. I lean toward impeccable, but I go with impressive.

Abomination brewing and Hoof Hearted Collab ‘Little Red Riding Hoof’ Triple IPA

Scary good. Thick and opaque gold. Helper shelter lacing. Butterscotch and coffee had a rosemary baby, it turned tropical with baked pineapple and sweet lemon, brown sugar, toffee, and arbor fruit. Strong and mouth-coating. Excellent, and I need more!

Plunge. Bustin’ to bubble; browning lemon colored broth of shadowy opacity. Cotton-headed with a blond tinge. Nearly laceless, just afterthoughts sliding slowly over an oily cloth-print. Here a blob there a blob. Orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine oils suspended nebulous. Orange-carrot bread, madeleines, green pineapple, jasmine, honeysuckle. Heavenly clouds evoking scented memories amidst the novel eddies of uncharted aggregates. Creamy, oiled mouthfeel drops heavy through the dream to grapefruit, sassafras, white pepper, sage, lemon-lime pith and zest, with a vaporous orange oil swallowed quickly in a wash of coconut and brown bread finish. Salivating and dropping a few degrees in the process.

Elysian Phaze Dust Imperial Hazy IPA
Golden to antique-gold base, loopy head of white reflecting said. Galactic nebulae suggesting horse heads in clover beds. Banana and pineapple lead the tropical bouquet with marigold and cherry side swipes. Orange, lemon, tangerine, lime and sticky nettle inundates. Lively mouthfeel marries the piney bits to the lemon and adds grapefruit in abundance, stinging the taste buds, and blinding them to the supernovae of lime and lemongrass and green mango to follow. There is cantaloupe bobbing like a rogue planet in the cosmic soup, and seed-bitter citrus background radiation, but the core of pineapple remains. Nice interstellar sojourn.

Beware the Ph…er, Fog! Lil’ Pumky from Abomination Brewing Company, North Haven CT. Gourdy gourdy gumdrops! Chalk colored shaver’s lather devolves to ghost trails. Gator snout lacing draws back horizontally, Nose shows strong citrus and squash notes; lime and lemongrass push grapefruit to the fore. This one, though creamy, stays citrusy throughout, and the pumpkin spice is very light, but the true pumpkin aspect came through. This is a valiant effort to achieve real pumpkin flavor, which is difficult. This brewery is on the right track, and honestly, I’m not sure where to improve, but it needs a little spice kick from a specialty hop, perhaps. I humbly submit.

Sierra Nevada Dank Little Thing hazy ipa
Pear juice colored, merengue top, stalactic, cephalopodic, surfy lacings and potato-eye dimple dinged tracings. Grapefruit tapioca nose with pink grapefruit nodal components. Lime pulped, and definitely holding. Creamier mouthfeel reveals sweet citrus tangelo, but offers hazelnut, and a certain nugginess suggesting cannabinols. The progression is lime, lemon, grapefruit, pomelo, tangelo, and you know.

Golden Tourmaline body with a frosty top of fresh mountain pow. Freckled blob monster in undulating dissolution lacing. Lemon puddings and lime leaves with a single granule of frozen white pepper whose presence informs the palate initially before your maw is awash in citrus zested pretzel bread with signature salinity. Softness and sweetness are not the centerpiece, but a nod to beer is here and I appreciate this element most of all.

Fat Orange Cat brew co. Pumpkin Patch Kittens. Albumen merengue top over opaque Bosc-grapefruit. Pear-apple nose with honeyed flower. Sweet grapefruit, nectarine and tangerine. Glyph-font lacing melts to fatty tissue. Cinnamon and applesauce, tart lemon, lime zest and a touch of coconut inform the festive palate. Caramelized pineapple and clove complete the work.
